With most of the ingredients in the title of this refreshing starter salad, it can be whipped up in five minutes flat.

Baby Arugula and Radicchio Salad with Pear is as fresh and simple as you can get, yet it tastes amazing and is a great start to almost any meal. Also known as Rocket, baby arugula is deceivingly spicy, so you don’t need much of it. Just toss it in a bowl with a simple dressing, crack some pepper over top, tong out onto a plate and serve. We added some pears to balance the spiciness.
